Having the library was a bonus and so was the lounge room. Dining room very nice.

Large, clean, comfortable airconditioned room. Bed also comfortable. A small private courtyard with table and chairs was nice but too rainy for us to use this time, it led to a larger area if needed. Very close to a Petrol station, shops and country Pub where we had dinner which was a very large serving, and I thought a good variety on the menu.
Set among 8 acres of tree-lined lawns and gardens, guests at these self-contained cottages have access to a tennis court and heated indoor swimming pool.

Absolutely fantastic cottage which was even more charming than I'd imagined. The attention to detail was wonderful and there was always something new to spot around the cottage, be it an interesting old picture or a vintage camera. Charm overload and great amenities - everything you need if you plan to cook there... or simply make some breakfast with a quality kettle and toaster!
Wouldn't hesitate to return.
Blackheath was the perfect location as a base for exploring...
Blackheath was the perfect location as a base for exploring the Blue Mountains. From our accommodation, it was a very easy drive to surrounding lookouts such as Anvil Rock, Wind-eroded Rock and Hargraves Lookout, as well as a comfortable drive into the Megalong Valley to visit the Dryridge Winery. Katoomba is also within easy reach for day tripping and to explore and visit Echo Point, the Three Sisters and Skyworld.
As a small and quaint village, Blackheath has all that you would expect for a tourism-focused location. The butcher, the baker, cafes and pub (complete with the best Guiness Pie enjoyed by the fireplace and accompanied by Saturday afternoon Jazz), were all a delight to explore and experience, especially whilst the town was shrouded in cloud and mist, rendering sightseeing improbable for the day. We were especially delighted to purchase an inexpensive (last pair discount!) pair of hiking boots, in the specialty shoe shop.
Would highly recommend planning a stay in Blackheath - our 4 nights/5 days was the perfect length of time to accommodate the slower pace of rainy, cloud-enveloped days, along with more adventure-filled days of hiking and exploring, once the sun came out!

It’s our fourth time here.
It’s our fourth time here.
We loved Blackheath - best walks - Grand Canyon and Govet’s Leap
We also love Katoomba - many walks and lookouts
And Wentworth Falls is just a short drive or train trip to the East
So much choice, so much beauty.
Walks galore - so awe inspiring.
Peace and relaxation - perfect 4 days/3nights
Easy access by train.
But PLEASE take water with you on your walks, preferably with an electrolyte supplement. Australia can get hot, there are no taps along the walks (it’s a national park) and the walks are fairly long (3-4hrs). We saw a few people looking lightheaded and weary from dehydration - fortunately we had spare water to share.

Lovely town with lots of local stores and breathtaking views. I would say even better than Katoomba. Friendly locals. Nice walking through the town, everyone had beautiful gardens, you could tell they really make an effort to make them stunning. I recommend sunrise at Govetts Leap Lookout, hiking in Katoomba either using Scenic world facilities for less mobile visitors or challenge yourself for a long hike around a valley. We finished our afternoon/evening at Japanese Bath House (30 min away) which was great recovery after hiking. Next day morning we visited Botanical garden which was again so beautiful with no entrance fee.

Coming back to life.
Coming back to life. A few empty shops but still a fair bit to see. Coffee places are good.Close to other centre town.areas. I have planned a second trip back in the next month or so.
The Gold club was handy for very nice bistro food. Need a car to get around. Given I was here on a Friday and Saturday it wasn't too busy.

It's less trendy than other lower mountain destinations - less like Sydney - a greater variety of restaurants & coffee shops & book shop & antique centre
Lots of easy street walks and for the fitter many bush walks
More laid back and a quieter community

Blackheath is a beautiful mountains village.
Blackheath is a beautiful mountains village.
Walking the streets takes you past early style, nicely renovated mountain homes and beautiful gardens. There are quality cafes, restaurants and gift shops. My visit in October was lovely and warm, but not hot, and cooler overnight.
The train station is convenient to the town centre.
I spent two out of my three days on holiday bushwalking, so I did not spend much time in the room apart from after returning home in the late evening. Loved the hot shower at the end of a long day of hiking. Bed furnishings were clean and comfortable. High-speed Wi-Fi was excellent!
High Mountains Motor Inn was strategically situated close to the Blackheath town centre, Govett's Leap/Grand Canyon Track, on top of being about a stone's throw away from the beautiful Katoomba township.
Suggestion: If you are booking with kid(s), make sure to take Room 16 (2 Beds + the Bunk Bed). Even though is it physically possible to stay with 1 child in the Single Rooms With Toilet, there is no place to put your luggage because it is tiny. We moved to Room 16 on the second day as we (two of us) had a toddler. Quiet location, all music downstairs stops at 11pm. Trivia: Charles Darwin (yes, him!) has stayed at this hotel!
A wonderful location with exceptional views. The house was cosy and well kitted out. A mixture of modern and old world. Cooler at the time of our visit, so the fire was a nice plus. We enjoyed taking our dog for walks in the local area and Blackheath centre is just a short drive away. The house was a perfect holiday haven. Everything was as per the online description and yes we shall definately make a point of going back.
The rooms had character and were well equipped. The kitchenette facilities were good and the breakfast ingredients were tasty and plentiful. There were lovely touches, such as the provision of mince pies and a Christmas pudding. The owner went 'above and beyond' giving us lifts into Blackheath (which was also walkable). The cottage is very well placed for the Grand Canyon walk and in easy reach of many other trails.
Staff at the Kyah were really attentive and understanding. It was nice to receive an email prior to arrival explaining the landscaping that was happening. The room itself was styled beautifully and the mini bar well stocked. I liked the addition of the cocktails. Location of the hotel is nice and quiet but definitely not walking distance to the Main Street of Blackheath.
We love the amazing design, giving the house a vintage vibe and comfy to live in. It also provides us with everything we need and is also pet-friendly which makes our holiday trip a whole lot easier as many others do not allow pets. The location is also convenient to get food--only 15 minutes away from Katoomba.
This is not a luxury property, but it is clean and comfortable and has a homey feel. The two dedicated bedrooms were quite comfortable. Living spaces often double as sleeping areas so the property will sleep a lot of people. The kitchen is well enough equipped to serve up a good meal.
The cottage was so cozy and warm. It’s very well equipped with all we need and more. The location is close by to most popular trails. The premises itself is a gem. Last but not least, the host Daryl is so friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend it to everyone.
Beautiful location and cosy romantic cottage. We lived here 30 years ago so it was a delight to be able to return and share the experience with 2 of our grown children. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.
The location was good - relatively quiet and very easy to get into Blackheath village and onto the highway to get to other villages in the Blue Mountains. Lots of options for breakfast provided, including a delicious home-made muesli!
beautiful location - hosts and their dogs wonderfully welcoming - a great base for hiking the Blue Mountains and relaxing on the stunning property with breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains.
Great location, but basic pub accomodation. Room was cheap and facilities basic. Great location though. Staff friendly, if a bit gruff - again good basic pub. Would stay here again.
Great value for a last minute long weekend booking. Initially worried about noise as next to main road but no issues with sleep at all. The room are older but extremely clean.
Location excellent for Blackheath.
Bed very comfortable.
Good access to fresh milk, kettle, mugs etc.
Room felt very clean.
Good bathroom and excellent shower.
Central location for sightseeing and bush walking Blue Mountains around Blackheath. Handy barbecue area and communal kitchen. Friendly and helpful staff.
